    If fit he should be straight in the seniors. One of our best players.

    Is the intent of this survey to ascertain whether we think Salem should play in the Seniors this weekend?

    Because if it is; this survey will not get you that data..

    Going from Goodies presser, even though he said the four would be back, he also didn’t say if they were all a lock to come back in the seniors.

    So from that, I’ll say Langdon, Tom & Harmes are a lock… think Salo will get a run in the two’s before returning for QB

    3-4 is the running joke for Melb injuries. How do you know I’m wrong with langdon? He hasn’t played yet.

    no, it's not; 4-6 is the running joke!

    I've been on the fence with this one, but with other rotations and Langdon/Tomlinson and others having high ToG%, i think we will be able to play and manage him on Saturday. 

    That being said it is a risk if injuries occur elsewhere and we need a big shift from him. 

    In conclusion ?

    Nick Smith. He will be a good player for us once he gets over that injury. Any week now .

    I was convinced he was going to be Petracca levels good for us if only he could get his body right. Oops

    If Casey were playing after the seniors, I could see a situation where he starts as a medical sub in the seniors and plays up to a half of footy if we cop an early injury.

    However given that Casey play before the seniors, I'd expect he plays one game at Casey and returns for Queens Birthday.

    If Rivers has another poor game this weekend, he goes out for Salem for Queens Birthday.

    We need Salem's class and composure.  from what I hear from former players, the second week back is the hardest to get up for. As we have a 9 day break it is perfect

  • Quote

    Will depend on how much work they've been able to get into him, but I'd think Casey

    Goody once said that they train as if they were in a game. I believe Salem has been training with the main group for more than two weeks, which would be as intense as playing in the vfl. In that case, he should be ready to play in the seniors.

    Generally when a player is training with the main group and listed as "test" in the injury report, they aren't 5 weeks away.

    Week in the ressies to get some match fitness. Ten weeks off is a substantial amount of time.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
